I have just set up an MSF5000 125W repeater. The duplexers are tuned, the unit
is tuned and programmed and it works kind of...When you open it with a carrier
it puts out full power, as soon as you talk (local or remote)the PA cuts out.
Drops from 80 watts to 4 watts. You can hold the PTT a long time: no drop.
Any noise into the mic, it drops. Here or a mile away, it's the same. Checked
RSS, etc. VHF Mars freq. with 2.1MHz split. Deviation? EEpots? Please help.
Thanks. PS Also tried with separate antennas on each pair of
duplexers....same.
